96 Chapter - The Difficult Convenience Store Owner
The sudden sound abruptly broke the deathly silence within the entire Station.
Perhaps due to the emptiness, Bai Cheng’s smiling voice echoed with a slight reverberation in everyone’s ears.
But at this moment, Yu Nian felt her ears buzzing and her mind blank.
She almost instinctively covered Bai Cheng’s mouth, but after realizing what she had done, she still felt incredible and could only pull her away, so as not to be affected.
“Xiao Cheng, we’re going to kill it? We can kill it!” she exclaimed in surprise, finally understanding why Bai Cheng had been so stingy with all the goods from the start.
Bai Cheng just smiled when she heard this: “Zi Yuan said we can, so we definitely can.”
After speaking, she looked forward, quietly observing the convenience store owner’s reaction after the rules were triggered.
The black shadow’s body surged with black energy the moment it heard the sound, and it stood up from the counter.
The convenience store owner slowly turned around, its eerie blue pupils scanning everyone in the Station through the glass, as if about to deliver judgment.
Then, its hand seemed to move.
But the next second, the convenience store owner suddenly vanished!
The speed was so fast that Bai Cheng couldn’t even see its trajectory; it was as if it was teleporting out of thin air.
At the same exact moment, the convenience store owner had already appeared in front of Chi Yan, who was at the very front of the Station, and Chi Yan seemed to have not reacted at all.
Clang—a sharp black blade light cut through the air with a vibrating hum, almost instantly sweeping across Chi Yan’s neck.
His head immediately detached and flew upwards, causing Bai Cheng and Yu Nian, who were not far away, to instantly narrow their pupils.
The convenience store owner’s speed was too fast, so fast that everyone present couldn’t react!
“Chi Yan, he…” Yu Nian looked at Bai Cheng in horror, but the latter just shook her head.
Then, scarlet flames suddenly ignited from the wound of the flying head, extending to the body below, and then instantly transformed into a ball of raging fire that surged towards the convenience store owner’s back.
The flames re-converged and condensed back into Chi Yan’s main body, and at the same time, he had already thrown a punch.
Boom—! The entire ground trembled, and flames splattered everywhere, but the convenience store owner’s figure vanished again.
Zi Yuan quickly retreated, her blade not even fully unsheathed, yet it was already held horizontally in front of her, suddenly blocking an attack that appeared out of nowhere.
Clang! Zi Yuan stopped her movement, which indicated that the convenience store owner’s strength was not great.
Then, she suddenly drew her sword and unleashed a purple blade light, but the convenience store owner’s figure still vanished instantly, causing her strike to miss.
At this moment, Bai Cheng and Yu Nian’s shoulders were suddenly grabbed by a large hand, and then both of them rose into the air, flying towards the higher parts of the Station.
The convenience store owner had no ranged abilities, but at least it definitely couldn’t fly.
Qing Niao taking Bai Cheng and the other to a higher position could at least maximize their safety.
“Qing Niao, can’t you help?” Yu Nian asked, tilting her head.
Qing Niao nodded; only Bai Cheng knew that he was already helping Zi Yuan and Chi Yan.
The convenience store owner’s strength completely exceeded her imagination; two Battle General Level employees working together were temporarily unable to do anything against it.
Below, three figures clashed continuously, but for most of the time, Zi Yuan and Chi Yan were on the defensive.
Because their attacks simply couldn’t hit the opponent.
The convenience store owner’s strength was not as great as either of theirs, and even its attack method was very singular, simply swinging its blade, and its defense might even be very weak.
But its speed was incredibly fast, so fast that Zi Yuan could only barely cope, and so fast that Chi Yan could only rely on his own abilities to endure.
However, through their battle, Bai Cheng also discovered that this guy seemed unable to harm Chi Yan at all.
“This guy should have stamina, right?”
This was the only way Bai Cheng could think of to defeat the opponent.
The convenience store owner’s strength wasn’t that strong for her, but it was extremely tricky.
At this moment, Chi Yan, who was below, became furious after taking another blow.
Flames ignited around his body, instantly transforming him into a giant lion.
Roar—! An invisible wave of air mixed with scorching flames instantly spread out with him as the center.
Chi Yan wanted to hit the opponent with this 360-degree indiscriminate attack method.
But until the airwave crashed against the four walls with a loud bang, the convenience store owner’s figure appeared as usual in front of Chi Yan, a black blade thrusting straight up towards his chest.
A sharp purple blade light struck, instantly deflecting the blade.
As Zi Yuan forced the opponent back with a single strike, she also spoke in a deep voice: “This guy’s ability isn’t speed!”
Chi Yan, of course, understood: “We must interrupt its casting to stop its teleportation.”
But neither of them had crowd control skills… crowd control skills?
Bai Cheng, who was above, suddenly reacted; she looked at Qing Niao: “Put us on the roof of the shop, and you go call Lü Duo over!”
The height of the shop roof was about three meters; if the two of them didn’t make a sound, they wouldn’t attract the convenience store owner’s attention.
Qing Niao immediately flew towards the mechanical door; with Chi Yan’s wide-range attacks providing cover, Qing Niao did not suffer any attacks.
But could the Elite-grade Lü Duo still be of help?
Yu Nian, who had been silent, was also a bit confused; she didn’t understand the abilities of Bai Cheng’s employees.
Soon, the mechanical door opened, and Lü Duo stepped inside; Zi Yuan immediately shouted: “Can you control it?”
While speaking, Zi Yuan also immediately moved closer to her.
Lü Duo didn’t have life-saving abilities like Chi Yan, nor was she as quick to react as Zi Yuan.
More importantly, compared to the two, Lü Duo was currently only Elite-grade, so Zi Yuan had to protect her.
Lü Duo was silent for a moment before speaking: “Chi Yan, please destroy the floor!”
Upon hearing this, the flames surging around Chi Yan violently slammed into the ground, and with a rumble, the originally smooth and shiny floor instantly developed spiderweb-like cracks, spreading across the entire Station.
“Chi Yan, please put out the fire,” Lü Duo said again.
Chi Yan’s hellfire was undoubtedly very restrictive to her abilities.
“Zi Yuan, please don’t protect me either; your reaction is the fastest, only you can kill it.”
After speaking, Lü Duo suddenly activated her ability.
A vibrant green life energy surged into the ground, then immediately spread along the cracks towards the entire Station.
The next second, emerald green grew abundantly, countless seedlings shot up from the ground, and the ground instantly transformed into a grassland.
When the convenience store owner reappeared, the grass was the first to fall; this time, it attacked Lü Duo, the one in its perception who posed a threat to it!
But what it didn’t expect was that its attacks would also miss sometimes.
Almost 0.5 seconds before it appeared, Lü Duo in front of it vanished into thin air, causing its attack ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) to miss.
This artificial natural scene could, of course, also be used by Lü Duo to hide.
The next second, an arrow suddenly appeared from a distance and struck at an extremely fast speed.
The convenience store owner was about to teleport but found that its body had unknowingly been tainted with tiny seeds; they were injecting toxins into its body and rapidly taking root and sprouting.
The convenience store owner’s teleportation movement was therefore delayed for a moment, and the rapidly approaching arrow no longer gave it time to dodge.
It had no choice but to give up on teleporting for now and dodge the incoming attack first.
Whoosh! The convenience store owner dodged the incoming arrow with an exaggerated posture.
However, before it could continue to teleport, a purple blade light suddenly struck!
